Getting ahead of myself

250 days to go till my Cooper S is delivered and already I'm swooning over Hamann Motorsport's tuning options . This could be the longest 8 months of my life. :)

Smug grin time

Another month, another batch of glowing reports for the Mini Cooper S. Some choice quotes: “Everyone agreed the Cooper S was more fun to drive than the Boxster” – Auto Express “No other hatch has the same combination of outrageous talent and depth of ability” – Auto Express “Like it or not, the Mini has a world-class chassis and the Cooper S’s extra power has brought it to life” – evo “Right now, the Cooper S has staked a claim to be one of the truly great hot hatches. It’s the real deal. Question is, can you bring yourself to believe it?” – evo It’s reassuring to know that pretty much the whole of the motoring press reckons it’s a bit special. Not only that, but concerns I had about my choice of 17-inch wheels have been alleviated by others on the Mini2 forums.
